I was 13 in 2013 when I watched PewDiePie play this whole game. And even then I was marveling at how well it was made, written, voice acted, etc. And now it being nearly 10 years later, I expected your run of the mill video game adaptation. This was not the case at all. Usually when you go into these things, you're expecting a lot of change with lore and source material etc. I was truly amazed with how much it stayed faithful to the original game. You could say it is just a copy of the 2013 game which won over 200 game of the year awards. But it's really not. It simultaneously manages to be its own while leaving in just the right amount of callbacks in. Yes, even with the cinematography there's tributes and almost shot-for-shot recreations. But I don't think this show will ever defecit from that. Only benefit. And it will only go up from here. If you're looking for a good post-apocalyptic show to watch, and you're not a fan of the original material, watch it. If you're a fan of the game and you're wanting to see it done justice, watch it. Watch this show. Regardless. You will not regret it.

I hate this show with a burning passion. Not even close to the book except most of the main plot. Hated it. Only subjected myself to it because the book was amazing. It doesn't deserve a second season, let alone a renewal for a third. If you've read the book, you KNOW it doesn't need a second season. It's a cheap goldmine of money for the creators who I bet haven't read the novel. I know the media never really follows the original source material but this was ridiculous. The whole season bored me. This show should've never been made.

I was lucky enough to see this modern marvel of a film at the Sundance film festival. Well edited and seamlessly structured, this film pays a true homage to the art of making a documentary, and to a man that society didn't know they needed until he came along on their television screens.
